| Personal background |
|---|
| I live in New York City with my husband Kai and our dog Astro. (Cute story the SETI people may appreciate: In the shelter, the dog's name was Jerry, but Kai wanted to rename him, so I suggested a childhood hero. Kai grew up in China and loved Astro Boy, so he suggested, "Astro." I said, "You mean like the Jetsons' dog? The Jetsons was my favorite growing up." And he, having immigrated in the 1990s, said, "What's the Jetsons?" There could be no other name for the dog at that point.) I am a Salesforce Certified Technical architect and work as a director of CRM Platform Management in a global educational services company. In my spare time, I am a Libertarian Party activist. |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
I'm agnostic on a bunch of things, ET included. I also think increasing knowledge can never be a bad thing, so why not look out into the stars to find the answer of such an important question? I like SETI@home, because nobody can accuse the program leaders of wasting taxpayer dollars.
I don't favor spending a lot of money and effort to transmit a special "beacon" for others, because we're already sending millions of beacons every day into deep space for others to see just by using consumer communication devices.
I run SETI@home on a fanless, super-efficient, 4.5W TDP i7 processor to keep my carbon footprint low. While finding ET may not be humanity's highest goal, it should at least be in the top ten. After all, ET may be able to give us the cure for disease, solve world hunger, or achieve any of the numerous other goals for humanity. |
